A method and apparatus for tapping into a pressurized multiple strings of coaxially situated tubulars for wells and/or platforms which have overturned wherein the tapping occurs underwater via a diver or remotely operated vehicle. The assembly includes a tapping tool connectable to the tubular via a saddle connection and an adjustable tapping clamp with adjustable support/locking feet, compression plate with view ports, and angularly adjustable hot tapping system, along with a drill/saw system.

A flow imaging and monitoring system for synchronized management of wide area drainage that includes an interposer for supporting monitoring and management equipment in a manhole, a module for illuminating water flowing in pipes at the base of the manhole, a module for monitoring responses to reflected light, a sealed and rechargeable battery pack, and a data analysis and management system to interpret data streams in real time. The interposer can be adjusted to fit the diameter of the manhole and can be adjusted to be placed under the manhole cover. The module for illuminating the flowing water can be adjusted to generate various frequencies. The support structures for the modules can be adjusted for varying pitch, roll and yaw with respect to the manhole. The data analysis and management system is supported by cloud computing.

Systems and methods for a solenoid supervisory detection system which can detect the presence or absence of a solenoid plunger within a solenoid coil. These systems can be used to verify correct reassembly of a solenoid valve after it has been disassembled for testing.

A fitting for shutting off and/or regulating flows of substance for use in pressure ranges above 50 bar has a housing body and a valve disc which can be operated from a drive lying outside the housing body via a valve shaft. The housing body is provided with a maintenance opening that can be shut off in a pressure-tight manner by a self-sealing lid that has a seal. In order to allow objects that are as large as possible, in particular the valve disc, to be guided through the maintenance opening during inspection works, without increasing the weight of the housing body, the maintenance opening has a rectangular passage cross section. In contrast to known circular maintenance openings which are known in this pressure range, a rectangular passage cross section permits a smaller surface area for the passage cross section and therefore a lighter housing body.

A microfluidic chip having a micro channel for processing a sample is provided. The micro channel may focus the sample by using focusing fluid and a core stream forming geometry. The core stream forming geometry may include a lateral fluid focusing component and one or more vertical fluid focusing components. A microfluidic chip may include a plurality micro channels operating in parallel on a microfluidic chip.
